Hug the Earth!

This past weekend I was searching for a cute little idea to use with my little people to teach about Earth Day.  I came across this adorable bulletin board by Katie over at the "Teacher to the Core" and decided my kinders could do this amazing little project.  So, I broke out the Silhouette to cut my letters and attempted to draw the pattern pieces to recreate Katie's creation!

Next, I wanted to add a touch of writing.  So, I hopped our to "The First Grade Parade" and like always Cara Carroll came to my rescue with an Earth Day Promise.  So, I combined the two and my kinders came up with our "Hug the Earth" craftivity!  

 I promise to never litter.  I promise to pick up trash!

 I promise to grow trees and plant flowers.

 I promise to pick up garbage because it is bad for the Earth.

Thank you Cara and Katie for your wonderful ideas!!

Goodwill Donation Time!!

OK it's time to start donating all of your goodies you no longer want! Starting tomorrow you can turn in items to the Canton Good Will through the 23rd. Each of your children brought home about 15 coupons right before Spring Break. The coupons MUST be turned in with your items in order to count for our class. Please try to spread out your bags of items or find lots of friends who will actually take items to donate! The class with the most items turned in will get a pizza party and $150 to spend in their classroom! You only have to donate one item to count for our class! Spring cleaning! Woo!  Hoo!
